"You're giving these of your own accord—oh, I'm not taking advantage of your misfortune."
"There aren't many good things—only twenty of them."
"Highest bidder gets it."
20 million yen.
30 million yen.
50 million yen.
By the time Akira said the Soldier Pills were sold out,
his savings had already exceeded 500 million yen.
Gensei Suou watched from the side, stunned.
"Akira, when did you get such good stuff?"
"And you sold it too cheaply."
Akira smiled. "This is called small profits but quick turnover."
"After today's difficulties are over, these guys will definitely repurchase like crazy."
"But at a critical time like this, no one would say anything if you doubled the price."
"Old man, your 'pulling the rug out from under them' won't do. What if these guys make it out alive? Everyone still has business to do."
"Besides, I still need to sell this to the Hero Association, the Jujutsu Association, and the Public Safety Devil Hunters."
"Pricing it too high will make people criticize me."
Gensei Suou stopped speaking; Akira was right—this was a long-term business.
And it was a big business.
However, could the people here really get out alive?
Looking at the Bat Devil eating people in the hall, and the female Monster that looked like a mosquito, he felt that hope was slim.
That mosquito-like woman was clearly not a good person either.
Not only did the Bat Devil eat people, but Mosquito Girl also ate people.
"Little brother Akira."
The scene was too chaotic before, and Yukinoshita Haruno didn't dare to approach.
Now that the commotion had subsided, she and Mrs. Yukinoshita dared to come closer.
"Haruno-nee."
Before the two could say another word, an Armored Gorilla spoke in human tongue and emerged from the shadows.
"Mosquito Girl, I'll help you."
Armored Gorilla joined the battle.
The scene immediately became even more intense.
With just a slight misstep, those fragile rich businessmen would be brushed by and die on the spot.
At this moment, a huge fox head suddenly appeared in the space.
It devoured the Bat Devil, Mosquito Girl, and Armored Gorilla, who were fighting together.
This caused the three to quickly dodge.
"Damn it! They can dodge that? And two more Monsters."
"You're a Monster—your whole family are Monsters. I am Armored Gorilla, ranked third in combat power at the House of Evolution."
But the police who had arrived earlier didn't care about that. They reported via walkie-talkie: "It seems like a party is being held here—there are many rich people present, which is not conducive to combat."
Bang!
The police officer who reported the information was punched in half by Armored Gorilla.
"I'm talking to you—that's not respectful."
"What a pity, my hands are all stained with blood because of you."
Mosquito Girl said with a look of disgust.
At this moment, another muscular figure emerged from the darkness.
"What's going on? Can't get it done after all this time? All useless—let me do it."
The Beast King instantly transformed into an afterimage, his claws gleaming with a terrifying cold light.
Countless sharp blades instantly slashed through the air.
Clang, clang, clang, clang~!
The Bat Devil was cut into many pieces by the sharp claws.
He fell to the ground in chunks of flesh.
And behind the chunks of flesh collapsed on the ground—
the terrifying force of the sharp claws extended along the ground, the terrifying slashes continuing all the way to Akira's front.
Yukinoshita Haruno, Mrs. Yukinoshita… and even the rich people behind him all widened their eyes.
"Akira-kun, you!"
Akira smiled calmly. "No need to make a fuss."
"Are you a hero from the Hero Association? Or a police officer?"
Gensei Suou asked with some uncertainty.
"I don't belong to any organization. I only represent the Suou Family, and likewise, I represent myself."
Hearing Akira's words, a huge joy immediately struck Gensei Suou's heart.
"Good, good, good. I knew you would amount to something, kid."
"When we get home, I'll pass the position of Family Head to you."
"No—I'll pass it now."
"Old man, don't get excited yet. We're not completely safe yet."
"That's right."
Killing intent erupted in the Beast King's eyes as he stared directly at Akira.
But Akira stood calmly in place, unperturbed.
"I'm still standing here, so why do you all think you're completely safe?"
"No wonder they couldn't get a blood sample from this handsome man—so he was hiding his true strength."
"You have a lot of my child's blood on your hands. How about you give me some of your blood, and I'll let this matter go?"
"No, this is the research sample Dr. Genus just specifically asked to take back, and those who ate the rice balls this guy gave—they also need to be taken back~"
"Can't… Pfft!"
The Beast King suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood also seeped from Armored Gorilla's nose and mouth.
Mosquito Girl was startled. "What's wrong with you two?"
At this moment, a tremor suddenly came from the ground.
The two police officers hiding in the shadows were instantly grabbed by a pair of large hands and crumpled into a ball.
The Beast King and Armored Gorilla, who had just been spitting blood, now ignored the abnormalities in their bodies and ran without thinking toward an inconspicuous corner.
"Hahahahaha!"
"He's finally out—he's finally out."
Terrifying skin with a metallic luster, terrifying sharp horns growing on his head, along with a crazed expression on his face.
Everything indicated to everyone that he was an even more terrifying existence than the three Monsters just now.
"Let me see—who is my next opponent."
Asura Kabuto's gaze swept over the Beast King and the others.
They were all clutching their legs, trembling and huddled together.
Those small, defenseless rich people were even more terrified.
Many of them had wet, sticky crotches, emitting a foul odor.
Only Akira stood alone, arms crossed, with a calm demeanor.
"Hmm?"
"There's still one who isn't afraid of death?"
"Die!"
"Wait."
Asura Kabuto froze.
Akira also looked curiously in the direction of the voice.
Whoosh.
The fox head suddenly appeared and, with lightning speed, swallowed Asura Kabuto.
But the next moment, Asura Kabuto directly tore open the fox devil's skull and drilled out from inside.
A flash of black-purple light, and he appeared beside the masked police officer.
Bang!
Dust flew everywhere.
Asura Kabuto twisted his smile and turned his head, intending to continue dealing with Akira.
But the next second, a movement came from the huge pit beneath him.
Violent Demon Man.
A powerful demon who was so strong that he constantly needed to be weakened by poison gas to stay conscious.
His poison gas mask had just been completely shattered by Asura Kabuto.
His power was completely unleashed.
Interesting!
Interesting!
Violent Demon Man versus Asura Kabuto.
Akira found an intact chair nearby and sat down at a not-too-far distance.
And at this moment, the real Dr. Genus ran up from the basement.
"Run, everyone, run! That guy is about to enter berserk mode."
Dr. Genus couldn't find Makoy anymore.
He could only come up and tell everyone to escape quickly.
But at this moment, Asura Kabuto had already exchanged a punch with Violent Demon Man at an extremely fast speed.
A terrifying shockwave, comparable to a 500 kg TNT explosion, instantly spread to the perimeter of the banquet hall.
Akira merely flicked his finger.
The aftershock of the explosion instantly dissipated into nothingness under the interference of his blade qi.
Gensei Suou looked at Akira, his eyes filled with surprise.
Is this guy only showing his true capabilities when it's time for the assessment?
Just now, he earned 500 million yen in a very short time.
Now, he faces these two terrifying Monsters and demons without fear.
He sits calmly on a chair, watching the show.
If the Suou Family were handed over to him in the future, he would surely make it soar.
Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yukinoshita Haruno also hadn't expected it.
Receiving an invitation and traveling thousands of miles to attend this gathering, they were fortunate enough to meet a person like Akira.
Later, she would have Haruno interact more with Akira.
Even if it meant selling herself short, she had to get close to him.
Not only was Akira about to become the head of the Suou Family, but his own combat power was enough to reassure everyone in the entire family.
Boom! Boom!
Ordinary people could no longer see the figures of the two fighting.
But the sonic booms and ground tremors made those behind Akira break out in cold sweat.
Dr. Genus looked at the battlefield dividing line, with Akira as its boundary.
His curiosity about Akira's power grew even stronger.
And the Beast King, Mosquito Girl, and Armored Gorilla, who had been clamoring in front of Akira just now, were now on pins and needles, watching Akira's rock-solid back.
"Beast King, are we running or not?"
"I just let my child suck his blood—he won't slap me to death later, will he?"
Boom!
Another strike.
"Hahaha—exhilarating!"
Asura Kabuto stopped. "I admit you are strong, but compared to me, your physical strength is not just a little bit worse."
Thump.
The Violent Demon Man, reduced to a human torso, fell to the ground.
Due to excessive blood loss, his body's recovery speed was now insufficient for him to continue fighting.
But without the restriction of the gas mask, Violent Demon Man was now a madman who only knew how to fight.
He ignored everything else.
He bared his teeth at Asura Kabuto.
Asura Kabuto grinned sinisterly. "Not convinced? Then let me show you my complete state."
"I can't even control this state of mine."
In an instant, Asura Kabuto's body swelled, his muscles expanding to their limit, as if he had donned armor.
Each muscle fiber seemed like an ornamental pattern on steel-like skin.
With just one glance, one could feel the aura of death emanating from him.
At this moment, a figure flew rapidly from the sky.
It was the S-Class Hero Genos, who had received the alarm and rushed over quickly.
Although he hadn't encountered Mosquito Girl as in the original plot, his glorious battle achievements while searching for his enemy had caught the attention of the Hero Association.
They naturally recruited him into the S-Class Heroes.
While eliminating Monsters for the Hero Association, he was also searching for his enemy.
He saw the ground, which looked like it had been plowed over.
That seemingly dangerous Monster was preparing to deliver the final blow to the people on the ground.
Save them!
The furnace core erupted with full power.
Genos was as fast as a beam of light, heading straight for Asura Kabuto with flames trailing behind him.
Asura Kabuto let out a sinister laugh.
He instantly appeared behind Genos.
So fast!
Genos turned without hesitation, unleashing his full firepower.
"Incineration Cannon!"
A massive pillar of fire engulfed Asura Kabuto.
But the next second, an arm casually swept across, and Genos was instantly cut in half at the waist, falling to the ground.
Tsk tsk tsk.
He escaped being brutally killed by Mosquito Girl, but he didn't escape the fate of being taught a lesson by Asura Kabuto.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
A phone ringtone rang at an inappropriate moment.
Everyone present focused their gaze on Akira.
But Akira still sat there calmly, picking up his phone as if no one else was around.
"Master!"
Himeno's voice came through the phone.
"Hmm? What's wrong? How long has it been, and you're already eager to train?"
"No, no, no—I'm at the scene, watching through binoculars."
"Oh, oh! So that's it. Do you want to come closer and see? It should be very helpful to you."
"No… no need, Master. How about you make a move? After it's over, I'll treat you to a meal—a grand feast."
"Angel is here too."
Akira checked the time and felt that this farce had indeed gone on for a bit too long.
"Alright. Come over now."
Listening to Akira's words, the incredibly arrogant Asura Kabuto was now breaking out in cold sweat.
As soon as Akira raised his hand, he was so scared that he retreated several steps.
Instant Strike.
He clearly hadn't blinked.
But Akira still vanished from his sight.
Behind him.
Asura Kabuto sensed it.
He swung a punch without hesitation.
In an instant, a slash shot up into the sky.
It directly cut the clouds in the sky into neat shapes.
And Asura Kabuto was as if he had passed through a fine sieve—his entire body turned into particles, soft and sticky on the ground.
Genos, lying on the ground, witnessed this scene and was immediately shocked by Akira's power.
In front of Asura Kabuto, he had no power to fight back.
But Asura Kabuto, in front of this man, also had no power to fight back.
This meant that the man in front of him was strong enough to crush him twice over, reaching a height he could not aspire to.
At this moment,
the Violent Demon Man's limbs had already grown back.
However, after such a major battle, his combat power plummeted.
Yet, he still charged at Akira without hesitation.
As a result, Akira merely glared at him, and the Violent Demon Man, feeling an incomparably powerful strength, shifted his target.
He climbed onto Genos and started slapping him.
Genos was completely bewildered.
"Hey, buddy!"
"I didn't provoke any of you—why are you hitting me?"
Fortunately, the Bat Devil's strength had plummeted, and Genos's remaining two hands were enough to subdue the Violent Demon Man.
Otherwise, he didn't know how much more embarrassing it would have been.
After all, there were many people watching.
Akira looked at the two grappling, and smiled slightly. "That's quite good."
Immediately, the Bat Devil returned to a state of being a human torso, sharing Genos's misfortune.
"Alright, the problem is solved, old man."
Seeing that the dust had settled, everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, someone pointed to the three Monsters huddled in the corner.
"Benefactor, those three were very arrogant just now. Would you like me to teach them a lesson on your behalf?"
"No need."
Akira stepped forward, and the surrounding people automatically moved aside.
Dr. Genus looked at Akira with some trepidation, not knowing what to say.
However, Akira merely patted his shoulder.
"Your research is very good. Join my Suou Family from now on."
"Whatever you want, I can get it for you."
"As for the anti-aging and immortality technologies, they will also be incorporated into our Suou Family."
"Yes, yes, yes, my lord. What about my three test subjects, you see…"
Akira stroked his chin and turned to look at the people around him.
Anyone in the business world knows how to speak to people and how to speak to ghosts.
"We all saw it just now—the public security officers were all killed by that Bat Devil."
"It has nothing to do with those three."
"Right, they even acted heroically just now, fighting against the Devil."
"Mhm mhm mhm, that's right—I saw it with both my eyes."
Akira smiled and waved his hand, hushing everyone. "Since everyone has seen it, there's nothing more for me to say."
"Our Suou Family plans to establish a gene research institute to achieve anti-aging and immortality technologies."
"And further verify these two technologies. If anyone is interested in this technology, go find the old man to invest."
"Once the technology matures, everyone will be able to enjoy the convenience brought by these two technologies."
As Akira's words fell, Gensei Suou was immediately surrounded by people.
"Brother, I will allocate 2 billion for research and development funding."
"My family has a piece of land in the suburbs that can be used to build a research base."
"My family has its own scientific research team—Big Brother, see if there's anything you need."
"The construction of the research base will be handled by our Inoue Family—Brother just say the word."
